Estrella M @EstrellaMagana Dec 10 A Woman’s Work: The NFL’s Cheerleader Problem, directed by Yu Gu, is an eye-opening documentary that exposes the unfair treatment of NFL cheerleaders. The film reveals how these women are held to strict rules and high standards while receiving very little pay and respect in return. What stands out is hearing directly from the cheerleaders as they push back against a system that benefits from their labor but undervalues them. The documentary is easy to follow and does a great job of explaining why this issue matters, even if you are not interested in football. This film is both informative and empowering, making it a strong choice for viewers who enjoy real stories about standing up to injustice. It’s a compelling watch that encourages you to question how normalized inequality can be.

I find it important to shed light on situations like this to show the audience what’s really happening behind all the makeup, dances, and costumes. It was great to know more about all the women in this film and their struggles in the industry.

I think this film highlighted a lot of their toxic work environment and brought good attention to the women that fought for their rights. These talented ladies get too much hate for their line of work. See more Gisella K 12/13/2024 This is by far one of the biggest eye oppening film I watched. It really gave me a new perspective of football games and the team that cheers them on as they play. Watching this film and hearing such heart breaking and disgusting comments from the men who downgrade their hard work and passion for this sport, knowing they also sexualize these women and see them as entertainment really made me realize how cheerleaders deserve more credit and respect for all they go through.

In reality, these cheerleader's barely get paid above the minimum wage. Despite the demanding hours they must practice, and flying from game to game. It's all out of their pockets. This film was able to capture this very well, diving us to a life of a cheerleader. It's devastating to see how unfair it is for these cheerleaders. See more Javier R 12/13/2024 The NFL Cheerleader problem film refers back to the legal and social issues surrounding the treatment and compensation of cheerleaders in the National Football League (NFL). Despite being integral to the game-day experience, many NFL cheerleaders are paid low wages, often below minimum wage when factoring in the time spent rehearsing, traveling, and attending mandatory events. This film is meaningful because it sheds light on the broader concerns about gender, labor rights, and fairness in the sports industry. See more Read all reviews
